VALUING the importance of road safety, Metro Pacific Tollways South (MPT South), a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), organized the Drayberks Road Safety Seminar with the theme “ALERTO KADA KILOMETRO” for the employees of TAS Trans Corp. and Erjohn & Almark Transit Corp., who regularly travel across the Manila-Cavite Expressway, or CAVITEX, last July 18, 2024.
During the event, MPT South representatives discussed expressway rules and regulations, focusing on RA 2000: The Limited Access Highway Act. Representatives from the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA), including Mr. Eric Vergara, Information Officer and Lecturer from the Traffic Education Division, and Mr. Asnawi Disomimba, Assistant Head of the Deputation Program Unit, Traffic Discipline Office, shared substantial information on traffic rules in Metro Manila.

We are deeply grateful for their commitment to improving consciousness on road safety in our transport community,” said Mr. John Benedict Santiaguel, General Manager of Tas Group of Companies.

Capistrano, Vice President for Communications and Stakeholder Management of MPT South, stated, “MPT South will continue to partner with different organizations to ensure that road safety is well communicated. As our top priority, we shall relentlessly advocate and educate on the vital role that each driver plays in ensuring overall safety for themselves and others on the road.”
